Early life
Revoredo was born in Rosario, Argentina, as the daughter of entrepreneur Juan Federico Revoredo. She earned a bachelor's degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina and completed an MBA at IESE Business School.
Career
Her late spouse, Herberto Gut, established Prosegur in 1976 and passed away in a car accident in 1997. Revoredo has been a director at Banco Popular Español, Spain’s sixth-largest bank, and participated on IESE's International Advisory Board. In 2013, she owned a 0.3% shareholding in Banco Popular.
Between November 2014 and January 2020, she was the first female board member of Endesa. In September 2019, Telefónica purchased Prosegur’s security alarm division for $300 million, partially compensated with Telefónica shares, thereby making Revoredo a shareholder in Telefónica. By January 2020, her ownership in Gubel, Prosegur’s holding company, dropped below half, yet she maintained majority voting rights.
Personal life
After marrying Herberto Gut, Revoredo relocated to Spain in 1975, where her husband launched the Spanish branch that evolved into Prosegur. Their son Christian Gut is the CEO of Prosegur, while their daughter Chantal Gut holds a position on the company’s board.
